The incredible Osteopathic Remedy has won this competitive race four times. He arrives in top form having won the Thirsk Summer Cup and though raised 6lb he's back on the same mark as a year ago. BARTACK, who finished fourth in that Ripon event, didn't get the clearest of runs and made amends with a classy performance here last weekend. He's up 5lb but looks the type to carry on improving and can complete the double. Multi Bene is consistent though 12lb higher than his latest success but King Torus looks a big threat. Ruth Carr's charge completed a hat-trick in early summer, including over this course and distance, and has run very well in two tough handicaps over 7f subsequently. Mujazif has only won once but has dropped to a fair mark and should go well but Ifwecan has struggled since scoring at Musselburgh in June.
